(KRON) -- The sister of the late country music icon Dolly Parton took to social media Wednesday, claiming that a Tennessee voting machine switched her vote to the Republican candidate. "In Tennessee last week at the Hermitage Library where I voted, I had to go back three times and correct my vote b ecause it kept defaulting to Marsha Blackburn," Parton wrote on Facebook. "I would never vote for her for anything." Blackburn, a Republican senator, is running against Democratic Memphis City Council member Jerri Green in the race for Tennessee governor. ‘Nightmare’: AI agents spark security concerns at major US banks, report says "I'm putting this out here because when we vote, we take it seriously but we try not to hold up the long lines," Parton continued. "Do it anyway. Don't let them rig this election." While Dolly Parton typically shied away from openly discussing politics, Stella, her younger sister, is a Democrat who has been outspokenly critical of the Trump Administration. "To think people like Elon Musk and Russian bots may be upended another election makes my skin crawl," Parton added in a subsequent comment. "May they all die and worms eat them." Several commenters on Parton's thread reported experiencing similar problems with the voting machines. In a statement to The Tennessean, Tennessee election officials responded to allegations of problems with the machines, saying, "Tennessee's voting systems are designed with multiple safeguards to help ensure that ballots are recorded consistent with voter intent." Officials also said that Tennessee voters can verify their selection on the review screen to correct any errors before casting their ballot. One recent poll shows Blackburn leading Green by 12 points in the Tennessee gubernatorial race. ...read more read less
